Penn State Wilkes-Barre has pioneered education in surveying engineering since it first began offering an associate degree in surveying technology in 1957. A bachelor’s degree program was added in 1994 and the program has continued to evolve and grow since that time. Today, Penn State Wilkes-Barre is the only university in Pennsylvania — and one of just 25 throughout the country — that offers an accredited bachelor’s degree program in surveying engineering.
